Under no circumstances should the seat post project
from the frame beyond its "Minimum Insertion" or
"Maximum Extension" mark. If your seat post projects
from the frame beyond these markings, the seat post
or frame may break, which could cause you to lose
control and fall. Prior to your first ride, be sure to
tighten the saddle adjusting mechanism properly. A
loose saddle clamp or seat post binder can cause
damage to the bicycle or can cause you to lose control
and fall. Periodically check to make sure that the
saddle adjusting mechanism is properly tightened.
Reach
To obtain maximum comfort and efficiency, it is important for the rider
to establish his or her proper reach to the handlebars. For general
riding, you will want to achieve a position that allows you to have a
slight bend at the elbows with your back at an approximate 45-degree
angle. On a flat bar road bike, this should be done while sitting on the
saddle in a normal riding position and your hands on the grips. On a
traditional drop bar road bike, you should also be sitting on the saddle
in a normal riding position, but your hands should be placed on the
brake lever hoods. If you find that this position is not obtainable, you
may need to either re-evaluate your correct frame size or you may
need to change your stem to a different length or rise. Your local bike
shop will be able to assist you in choosing the correct stem length for
your needs.
